McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The City of Laredo is allowing the State of Texas to build a segment of border wall on city-owned land near an international bridge.

In a 6 to 2 vote Monday, the Laredo City Council approved a lease easement of 1,600 feet — about one-third a mile — of city property near the Colombia Solidarity International Bridge, stirring controversy within the South Texas border community.

“We all know that a wall makes no sense,” said Catholic Sister Rosemary Welsh, who addressed councilmembers during public comment on Monday night. “Our city leaders need to find the courage to stand up for the truth.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
